Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009002543A1] A mounting assembly for attaching auxiliary equipment (10) to a wheelchair (12) includes multiple adjustment features In the preferred 5 embodiment, different wheelchair widths may be accommodated by utilizing attachment arms that pivot co-axially with a mam column (56) of the auxiliary equipment. The mounting assembly preferably includes a pair of arms (78 and 82) and a pair of links (86 and 88) that extend from the arms. The lengths of the links and the arms may be adjusted by rotation of a rod portion (104 and 106) of each arm and each link, but other means for enabling changes in length are possible. The links are preferably pivotally connected to the arms, so that the distance between the ends can be vaped on the basis of the particular wheelchair Ball-and-socket joints (44, 46, 48 and 50) are used.
